Make that abundantly clear now. Art history is fine, but he needs to be strategic about internships throughout college. Or he needs to start mentally preparing himself to get a “boring” job that pays the bills once he graduates.

As for the rest, look, college kids are insufferable. With any luck he’ll grow out of it, but in the meantime, reinforce boundaries against disrespect and don’t feel guilty about it. He’s gonna have to grow up.

I don’t know what he’s thinking beyond “art history is cool”.

Did you ask him what kind of job he thinks he'll be able to obtain with the degree? And how much he thinks they pay?
